Credibly accused domestic abuser and far right Arizona state Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli on Monday sent a letter to the Maricopa CountyBoard of Supervisors informing them “no electronic voting systems in the state of Arizona may be used as the primary method for conducting, counting, tabulating, or verifying federal elections, unless those systems meet the requirements set forth,” in a non-binding resolution – one with no force of law – passed by his caucus in March.
It’s not clear why he thinks counties are supposed to obey Borrelli’s authority when he has none in this matter, but that doesn’t make the squeaking any less entertaining. In related – possibly directly related – news, Attorney General Kris Mayes earlier on Monday told counties to “discard” her Republican predecessor Mark Brnovich’s opinion allowing them “discretion” to conduct hand counts… discretion which rural Cochise County abused and caused a total clusterfuck.
